I have wine installed(yes it is wow's sfs although i think it may need video acceleration) I installed 7-zip with wine then made a script that starts it in usr/bin so now when i want 7-zip i just run 7zip from the command line or click on the script

you can see it in the video here(I start 7zip at 1:50 min): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u30ciyNkPAk

you can set programs to start when you click on them by setting the runaction to wine "$@"

Wine is tricky on any flavour of Linux. Its definitely a work-in-progress. It works much better with some apps than others, so do check here: http://appdb.winehq.org/
Lots of tips & tweaks which are often necessary to get any given app working in Wine. Do not attempt to use windoze apps in a windoze install, the appies must be seperately installed in the faux C:\ drive that Wine creates.
Examples: my old Rail Baron Player runs well in Wine, but my Stars! game won't run at all unless there is a full desktop environment (e.g. XFCE) available, it finds window managers alone inadequate!
Best to remember Samuel Johnson's aphorism on another subject:
"...[It] is like a dog's walking on his hinder legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all."
